Silvia Downes

My calling is to bring calm, compassion, and presence to this deeply spiritual time — holding space for peace, reflection, and connection. I believe that dying is not an ending, but a sacred passage of the soul, and that every person deserves to be surrounded by love, dignity, and light as they journey home.

I provide End of life Doula care and services:

- assisting with advanced care planning,

- diagnosis support,

- connection to other support networks,

- celebration of life or funeral planning,

- caregiver and family support,

- facilitation of bucket lists, as well as legacy services including video biographies and discussion products to aid the conversation around end of life wishes.

Through emotional, spiritual, and practical guidance, I walk beside families with tenderness and reverence, helping create moments of meaning, comfort, and grace. it is an absolute privilege to be part of the process of one of the most significant times in a person's life.

Please call or email me whatever is convenient to have a chat to see how my services would be beneficial to you and your whanau.
